Product Information
Full details
This Peter Storm Packable Hooded Waterproof Jacket in Plum (Purple) and size 8 is designed for adult females seeking reliable protection from wet weather during outdoor activities or daily errands. Its primary benefit is its fully waterproof construction combined with a packable design for easy portability. A potential caveat is that while offering good weather protection, it is a lightweight jacket, so extreme cold may require additional layering. Key features include its durable nylon shell, a secure hood, stormflap, elasticated cuffs, adjustable hem, and zippered pockets.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This is a lightweight waterproof jacket designed primarily for protection against rain and wind. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating jacket or fleece underneath.
How do I pack the jacket into its stuff sack?
Empty the jacket of air, then fold it neatly, starting with the sleeves, and roll or fold it to fit into the provided stuff sack. Do not force it, as this could damage the fabric.
What is the material of the jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% nylon 210T main fabric with a PU coating.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 40°C with similar colours using a non-biological detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Does the hood have an adjustment cord?
Yes, the hood features a cordlock toggle system for adjustment, along with a concealed stud closure.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are zippered hand pockets designed to keep contents dry from rain. However, they are not designed for submersion and should not be considered fully waterproof under prolonged heavy rain.
What does 'dropped hem' mean?
A dropped hem means the back of the jacket extends lower than the front, providing extra coverage and protection against wind and rain at the back.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not fully waterproof.
Ensure all zips are fully closed and velcro fasteners are secured. Check for any visible damage to the fabric or coating. Re-waterproofing treatments may be applied if the PU coating has degraded over time.
Hood or hem adjustments are not holding.
Check the cordlock toggles for debris or damage. Ensure the cord is correctly threaded through the toggle. If the cord is frayed, it may need replacement.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specific zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This can happen in high humidity or when wearing non-breathable layers underneath. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers. Adjusting the fit at the cuffs and hem may improve ventilation.
